Preparing Your Plumbing For Winter

Service Your Hot Water System

It is always a good idea to service your hot water system before winter and ensure you have a maintenance check performed. It will give you peace that the hot water heater will last through the winter months. There is nothing worse than being forced to have a cold shower in the cold weather. Check your system for any rust or leaks and arrange a service for your heater before the cold weather hits.

Preparing a plumbing system for winter is not a tedious task or requires a large budget. As a homeowner you will have peace of mind that your plumbing system is prepared and good condition to last the season.

Check the Home For Leaks

While Sydney homeowners are home it is a good time to check the bathrooms, kitchen and laundry for leaks. It is a good idea to check the water meter and your most recent bill, this is a good indicator that the leaks are costing you money.

Check Flexi Pipes

When was the last time you checked your flexi hose underneath the sink? If you notice rust, leaks or general wear and tear it is recommended to get them replaced. Flexi hoses have the potential to burst if they are not replaced in time, this is a common insurance claim and we highly recommend to have them checked!

Gutters & Downpipes

Before the winter season starts you will need to make sure the gutters, downpipes and stormwater drainage pipes are clear with no leaks or not overflowing. Overloaded gutters can often cause damage, pull away from the house and require serious repairs.
